ESPN’s FPI predicts Georgia's remaining games
The Georgia Bulldogs beat the breaks off of Arkansas State Saturday 55-0.
With Notre Dame looming in Week 4, Georgia could have easily showed up and won 35-14 or 41-21, but the Bulldogs showed up hungry, motivated and feeling dangerous. Jake Fromm is starting to create a nice rapport with his cast of talented playmakers, and Georgia’s defense looks like it’s settling in and ready to become elite.
Things get real this week, however. No. 7 Notre Dame is coming to town. College GameDay will be in attendance, and eyes around the college football world will be locked in on Athens.
ESPN’s Football Power Index updated its game-by-game win probabilities following Week 3 for the Dawgs:
- Sept. 24 vs. Notre Dame (67.3 percent)
- Oct. 5 at Tennessee (88.3 percent)
- Oct. 12 vs. South Carolina (86.8 percent)
- Oct. 19 vs. Kentucky (90.7 percent)
- Nov. 2 vs. Florida (70 percent)
- Nov. 9 vs. Missouri (85.5 percent)
- Nov. 16 at Auburn (55.6 percent)
- Nov. 23 vs. Texas A&M (79 percent)
- Nov. 30 at Georgia Tech (97.5 percent)
I fully get that Auburn has home field advantage, and that the last time Georgia and Fromm rolled in there they got smacked…As an Auburn grad student at that time….I never got to live it down (until the SECCG) HOWEVER
Stidham and Kerryon are not walking through that door. That offense needs to improve fast before I’m sold that the game is close. If we get by Notre Dame, I’m more concerned by TAMU. It’s the perfect “trap” game right after the high of that Auburn game. TAMU has nothing to lose, and everything to prove.
I honestly don’t see Florida or Texas A&M as high as projected. And Auburn has some issues on offense, but Jordan Hare is always tough.
